When he said "Its S3D, not 3ds. I have yet to find a way to conver them to obj. I can do most of the others, but Micrografx seems to have a lock on Simply3D. Too bad...lots of great models.", I thought his statement was clear that he was asking about a Micrografx model, not one he did himself. When you said "If it doesn't work in the non-registered version I have the regged version of explorer. I would love to get my hands on an accordian,", I understood you to mean that if he couldn't convert it (the Simply3D model he spoke of) in the unregistered version you could do it for him - which would mean he would have to send you the model illegally and in doing so, you would acquire an accordian model. I would feel bad if my attempt to help a fellow Simply3D3 user get more use from his models would lead to illegal distribution of the models. I'm sorry but I did not and still do not see any other way to interpret the messages I read above so you'll have to pardon my wanting to do the right thing.
